Solution:

The length of DNA in organism is measured in terms of the number of base pairs or the number of nucleotides. Each organism has a fixed quantity of DNA, ϕ×174 has single-stranded DNA thus its length is measured in the number of bases present and for other organisms having double-stranded DNA, the length is measured in the number of base pairs.
